Git - Best Practices

Commit Frequency

Make incremental commits as you develop your analysis:

• After completing data cleaning
• After major feature engineering steps
• After generating each key visualization
• After updating documentation

Commit Messages

Use descriptive messages that explain:

• What analysis steps were completed
• Which insights were discovered
• What visualizations were created
• How documentation was updated

File Organization

Ensure your final commit includes:

• Clean, well-documented notebook
• High-quality exported visualizations
• Updated README with findings
• Proper .gitignore configuration
